Tony, Roger Briggs gave me a tour of the rebuilding of OB when they had it all apart. After all of the moves and false starts they were finally getting serious about rebuilding it. Roger said when they started unbolting the steel braces, the whole thing almost fell apart. He said the "termites must have been holding hands" for it to arrive in one piece, (more or less).

I recall John Engs saying one of the hammers weighing 1,200 lbs, I will check.
